Chapter Sixty-Nine: Cold Wind and Snow

In the winter of that year, Fengcheng ushered in a long-lost snowfall, and the wind swept through the city.

I actually love snow days, mainly because of its beauty.

I still remember when I was in elementary school, there was a huge snowfall, and the whole campus was white, and I couldn't tell where the road was and where the lawn was. The silver-covered world is the pure art created by nature, with white lines outlining fine outlines, snowflakes embellishing fresh breath, and splashing ink on the ground is a peaceful ocean.

I had secretly plunged into this vast ocean in the form of a cat, and let the delicate snowflakes wrap around me, rolling freely in this dreamlike world. My eyes were full of the purest white, and nothing else could be seen, and no one could see me.

I didn't feel cold at that time, but this winter made me feel extra cold. When I was speeding on the battery car, the biting cold wind mixed with the sporadic snowflakes was like a steel knife scraping bones, repeatedly torturing my face.

I put on my scarf, cotton hat and gloves early, and even so, my exposed eye sockets were a little unbearable.

On the way out of school, I found Lin Ximeng driving in front of me, and she didn't even wear any protective gear. Did she forget to wear it? I'm afraid I was caught off guard by this sudden cooling. Wouldn't that be freezing to death?

I pumped up my horsepower and wanted to go up and say hello. It's a pity that the speed of the battery car is the same, and she didn't encounter a traffic light to stop her, so she couldn't catch up, so she could only watch her back disappear into the cold wind.

When I got out of school the next day, I found Lin Ximeng again, and she was still not wearing any protective gear. Did she forget to wear it again? No, I have already tasted the cold wind yesterday, how can I not remember it for a long time today?

Fortunately, today, I was fortunate to have the help of the traffic light ahead, and I caught up with Lin Ximeng who stopped there.

"Hi, Lin Ximeng. Aren't you cold without a hat or scarf or anything? I asked with concern.

"It's not cold, I'm fine, you know."

"But......" I was about to say that I was worried that the biting cold wind would frostbite her face, but I stopped in time.

I suddenly remembered the time when I wanted to give a raincoat on a rainy day, and I felt that it was too numb to say this, and Lin Ximeng would be as disgusted as before.

So I put it another way: "Don't be reckless." ”

"I know what to expect. That ...... "Without waiting for me to continue to say anything, Lin Ximeng took the topic elsewhere, "It is said that your key class recently sent a set of English handouts, which summarized a lot of knowledge points?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" I remembered that it was sent before the last monthly exam.

"Can you lend me a while? I want to study hard. ”

"Okay, but I don't have it with me now, so I'll give it to you in the afternoon."

"Hmm."

Lin Ximeng's cheeks flushed, slightly different from the kind of flush I usually saw. That kind of red is not very natural, and her hands are too, it must be frozen red. I felt a little distressed and wanted to lend her my scarf and gloves.

However, just like when I tried to lend her the raincoat, should I borrow it or not? If I say I want to lend it to her, I'm afraid it will make her aware of my special feelings for her, right? Will it make her feel "annoying" and "trivial" again? Could she stop paying attention to me again?

It's better not to say it, there is nothing to do, and the friendship is still the same.

When I got home, I pulled out the English handout that Lin Ximeng mentioned, which was a material that our teacher had carefully sorted out, and it was indeed a high-value review material with a neat list of commonly used words and grammar.

In the afternoon, I took the bound handouts to the door of Class 7 and handed them to Lin Ximeng. I hope that this information can really help her and improve her academic performance, which is also the love I have paid for her.

The snow that year was really different from what it had been before, and after several days of intermittent rain, a sudden snowstorm came like never before. When I woke up one night, the ground was already covered with a thick layer. The wind was still howling and curling up huge clusters of goose feathers, densely filling the heavens and the earth.

I finally came to the school, and I looked out the window at everything I saw, and I felt more and more that it was no longer snowflakes, but dancing flames, burning the whole sky. The familiar school building opposite, which was supposed to have a herringbone spire, turned out to be a flat-roofed building at this time, and the outline of the original roof could not be seen at all, as if someone had taken a knife and cut off the roof directly.

Between classes, I stood in the hallway overlooking the entire campus, and the floor was pure white. There must be a small river to the west of the school, but I can't find it at this time. And the muddy playground, which was as smooth as a wide lake at this time, was so terrible that people did not dare to approach it, as if they would fall into the bottomless water if they were not careful. However, there are still many students rushing to the playground.

"This snow is really rare, let's go to the playground and have a good experience." He Xiaoyu said.

"Okay, let's have a snowball fight." I said excitedly.

"How old are you, and you still like snowball fights so much." He Xiaoyu's face was calm.

"Don't have snowball fights? So what are we going to do? ”

"Go for a walk and see the beautiful women."

"Dizzy! I don't have that hobby. ”

"That's just one hobby."

"Then go yourself." I looked at him with disdain.

"Eh, maybe Lin Ximeng will also go to the playground to play." He Xiaoyu grinned lightly.

"Alright, let's go!" I said yes without saying a word.

Soon, we came to the playground and walked slowly. There were already a lot of students gathered there, some of them running wild in the snow, splashing the snow water; Some groups of three or five waved snowballs at each other, raising a veil of snow; Some found a quiet corner and built a snowman in detail.

He Xiaoyu walked casually, and by the way, he swept the entire playground like a radar with his grim gaze, searching for the beauties of the whole school, and devoting himself to admiring them.

I excitedly picked up one snowball after another, pinched it tightly, and smashed it against walls, railings, basketball hoops, and football goals, watching as the snowballs smashed to pieces, leaving only an irregularly shaped patch. Without He Xiaoyu to accompany me to the snowball fight, I still had a lot of fun.

After a while, He Xiaoyu slammed my arm and shouted at me: "I saw Lin Ximeng." ”

"Where?" I was even more excited, and I didn't feel any pain in my arm at all.

"Over there."

"It's really her!"

"Would you like to say hi?"

I hesitated for a moment, but gradually calmed down: "Forget it." ”

I really want to go, but Lin Ximeng is accompanied by a girlfriend, I don't know anyone, and I don't know what to say when I go, how abrupt and embarrassing.

Looking at my cowardice, He Xiaoyu sighed: "Hey, cat Xiaoer, ......, tsk tsk." ”

We continued to walk at our own pace. However, I have lost the interest in playing in the snow, I look in the direction of Lin Ximeng from time to time, it is only about 100 meters, not too far away, what is preventing me from going to her side?

While they were struggling, I saw Lu Feng holding a big snowball, running towards them from behind Lin Ximeng, and smashed directly on the heads of the two, and the soft white snow instantly covered Lin Ximeng and her best friend's body like flour.

Seeing Lu Feng laughing at himself extremely presumptuously, Lin Ximeng was ashamed and angry, wanting to chase after Lu Feng.

Lu Feng was like a cunning rabbit again, and quickly ran away for a distance, seeing that Lin Ximeng didn't catch up, he turned around and continued to taunt her.

Lin Ximeng and her best friend couldn't bear it anymore, so they each picked up a snowball and threw it at Lu Feng, and the two sides started a big battle. But Lin Ximeng was Lu Feng's opponent, and after a while, the two of them were completely suppressed, holding their heads and only hiding, but their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

Looking at Lin Ximeng's smile, I couldn't be happy, this was the first time I felt unhappy with Lin Ximeng's smile. All along, whenever I see Lin Ximeng, her face is always full of smiles, that smile represents confidence, that smile is full of positivity, and that smile has become the symbol of Lin Ximeng in my mind. But this time, when I saw Lin Ximeng's smile, I felt a pain in my heart.

Lu Feng is really too deceitful, I really want to rush over to avenge Lin Ximeng, and also to vent the pain in my heart.

However, the 100 meters away is so far away. What reason do I have to rush over? In what capacity shall I rush there? Suddenly appearing as a stranger in a group of acquaintances? To teach someone who doesn't know each other well?

They are very familiar classmates, they should just be just joking, if I rush over like this, I'm afraid I will be too serious, serious will already lose. As an uninvited guest, I am afraid that the whole lively scene will drop to the freezing point, it is an atmosphere that is colder than this weather, that is the most embarrassing thing, and it will definitely make my impression in Lin Ximeng's heart greatly reduced.

I thought it would be better not to go, but another question hovered in my mind. Why did Lu Feng dare to appear in front of Lin Ximeng and her best friend, but I didn't dare? Why did Lin Ximeng smile so brightly when he played with Lu Feng, but never when he met him on campus?

Is it because of the "childlike heart"? Haven't I understood the mystery yet? Haven't I really been able to face Lin Ximeng with a "childlike heart"?

I thought about it a lot, maybe it was because I cared too much about Lin Ximeng. Because he cares too much, he is reluctant to approach, and he is afraid that he will be broken by a slight touch; Because they care too much, they become restrained, and they are afraid that saying or doing something wrong will greatly reduce their relationship with each other. And this kind of care only exists when you like someone, if it's just an ordinary friendship, you won't care.

In the evening, I wrote a sentence in my diary: "Friendship is pleased, and admirers are timid." ”

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between friendship and love. In the stage of friendship, getting along is always so natural and harmonious, full of joy, you can boldly say anything, you can do everything boldly, just like Lu Feng is so unscrupulous; And when love comes, all kinds of restraints will follow, and you will start to think cranky, you will start to tremble, you will start to suffer from gains and losses, just like I am always so indecisive.

I also understand better why I can be unrestrained in front of Qiao Qiao, and why I am afraid in front of Lin Ximeng many times. My liking for Qiao Qiao should just be a manifestation of friendship, and my feelings for Lin Ximeng are real likes, even close to love. And "annoying" and "trivial" are things that must exist in love, and when he came into contact with these things, Lin Ximeng said that what was unbearable was actually the transformation from friendship to love.

"Childlike heart" belongs to friendship, with this mentality is just an escape from love, and maintaining such a mentality can never break through the barrier of love. It's nice to retreat with a "childlike heart" when you're hindered, but you'll soon be in trouble. Only by accepting the "annoying" and "trivial" and bravely overcoming them can we get on the right track of love.

Therefore, it was Lin Ximeng who misunderstood! She will lead me into the trap of friendship and wear away my love for her!

I shouldn't avoid these "annoying" and "trivial", I should break through these "annoying" and "trivial", and lead her to break through these "annoying" and "trivial" in a way that Lin Ximeng can accept!

I felt a lot of courage in my heart.
